Genny Jones AKA Confident Queen is a single parent mother of two, former contestant on Britain’s Got Talent, , Entrepreneur, TV and Radio personality and happiness spreader who has done it again – putting her talents to work by bringing to us her first book ‘I Can Blow Up A Balloon’ nine years after she started had the idea. Research in numerous fields including Education, Health, Psychology and Sociology, highlight the importance of confidence building in our young people. The book aims to help children be confident. Genny was inspired to write the book based on an incident which happened to her son when he was five. In this book she brings together life experience, backed up by research and the importance of lifelong learning for all. She combines the story with the Character Confident Queen persona whom she has created. Confident Queen’s mission is helping people to be confident using her special Gift of Confidence toolkit. This toolkit contains a creative array of items to boost and maintain one’s confidence.

The aim of my workshop is to equip and empower children from an early age with the tools they need to grow up to be confident adults so that they can cope with life’s challenges and be the best version of themselves. The workshop involves creating a Gift of Confidence tool box which has special items they can refer to when they go back home and these will help them to sustain their confidence and happiness level. Having too young children myself, and having been bullied when I was in school, I understand the importance of developing our Self Esteem and Confidence.

The workshops are customised to suit all ages of children and its fun, creative and engaging!
